Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Slightly OT: Does anyone have a way to determine the language or even codepage of a PDF?

I basically am trying to filter PDFs to see if they're a non-Latin-based language (Japanese, Korean, Chinese to name a few).
 
Thanks for any hints/tips/suggestions.
 

        If I were trying to tackle this problem, I would simply find all fonts in the document and examine their glyph sets and encodings to find any non-Roman ones.  Looking at the fonts would only tell you about POSSIBLE usage - you'd need to examine the actual contents to determine REAL usage.
